The Savannah Chapter Number 2, United Daughters of the Confederacy will be holding a Confederate Memorial Observance at Catholic Cemetery on Wheaton Street at 3 p.m. today with a procession to the Irish Jasper Greens Confederate Monument.

The program will consist of two distinct parts. First, a Cross of Military Service Award will be presented to Garland J. Bath in honor of his service in World War II.

The second part will be a re-dedication of the Confederate Monument at Catholic Cemetery. The statue, which honors 28 Irish Jasper Greens who died in the war, was erected and dedicated on April 26, 1910. Since this monument is 102 years old this year, the group plans to re-create a portion of the April 26, 1910, dedication ceremony which originally included a large number of Confederate groups.

The event is open to the public. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the program.
